Stamp Duty Land Tax

Hello guys,
I wanted to ask if first time buyers buying a property worth less than £250,000 is still eligible to pay Stamp Duty Land Tax which takes 1% of the total cost of the property.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Yes first time buyers are still liable for stamp duty unfortunately. They were exempt for a couple of years but that stopped last year.0

Aah, thought the first time buyer scheme was still available, oh well
Thank you for your post, Sulphate

This is a fairly widely publicised deal:

which offers some help towards the stamp duty
Other lenders may have these also - this is the one I've seen the adverts forSo many glitches, so little time...0
